Hole Out Of Play – Matchplay Competition

Posted on: 1 August

Hi Members

Some have asked the ruling when a hole is out of play during the week and they are playing their matchplay game. 

Golf Australia advise that if a hole is taken out of play on an 18 hole course and players are asked to play 17 holes, the hole that is out will be halved, regardless of whether shots would be given or not.

The ruling falls in line with the decision to award 2 points on the hole out of play for individual events.

Best Regards
